The front and rear tire pressure specifica- tions for your vehicle are listed on the TireInformation Label. Both the front and rear tires should have the specified tire pres- sure.Note that the value does not apply to the compact spare tire, if equipped.
Tire InspectionInspect your vehicle’s tires at least once a month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces- sary. Remember to check the spare tire, too.

(1) Tread wear indicator(2) Indicator location mark
2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.).To help you check this, the tires have molded-in tread wear indicators in the grooves. When the indicators appearon the tread surface, the remaining depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) or less and the tire should be replaced.3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and damage. Any tires with cracks or other damage should be replaced. If any tiresshow abnormal wear, have them inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts. 5) Check that there are no nails, stones orother objects sticking into the tires.

WA R N I N G
• Air pressures should be checkedwhen the tires are cold or you mayget inaccurate readings. • Check the inflation pressure from time to time whil e inflating the tire gradually, until the specified pres- sure is obtained. • Never under inflate or over inflatethe tires. Under inflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or cancause the rim to slip on the tire bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tire or rim.• Overinflation can cause the tire to burst, resulting in personal injury. Overinflation can also causeunusual handling characteristics which may result in an accident.

To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus- trated. Tires should be rotated as men-tioned in periodic maintenance schedule. After rotation, adjust front and rear tire pressures to the specification listed onyour vehicle’s Tire Information Label.
Wheel Balancing
If the vehicle vibrates abnormally on smooth road, have the wheel balanced atMARUTI SUZUKI Authorized Workshop
Wheel Alignment
In case of abnormal tire wear or pulling towards one side, have the wheel aligned at MARUTI SUZUKI Authorized Workshop.

• This is important to ensure propersteering and handling of the vehi-cle. Never mix tires of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tiresused should be only those approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment foryour vehicle. • Replacing the wheels and tires equipped on your vehicle with cer-tain combinations of aftermarket wheels and tires can significantly change the steering and handlingcharacteristics of your vehicle. • Therefore, use only those wheel and tire combinations approved byMARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehi- cle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer or odometer readings.
WA R N I N G
• Batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smokewhen working in the vicinity of the battery. • When checking or servicing thebattery, disconnect the negative cable. Be careful not to cause a short circuit by allowing metalobjects to contact the battery posts and the vehicle at the same time. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam-age to your vehicl e or battery, fol- low the jump starting instructions in the “EMERGENCY SERVICE”section of this manual if it is neces- sary to jump start your vehicle.

For maintenance-free battery (cap-less type), you need not add water. For tradi-tional type battery, which has water filler caps, the level of the battery solution must be kept between the “MAX” and the “MIN”level lines at all times. If the level is found tobe below the “MIN” level line, add distilledwater to the “MAX” level line. You shouldperiodically check the battery, battery termi- nals, and battery hold-down bracket for cor- rosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff brushand ammonia mixed with water, or bakingsoda mixed with water. After removing cor-rosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for amonth or longer, disconnect the cable fromthe negative terminal of the battery to help prevent discharge.
Replacement of the battery

To remove the battery: (1) Disconnect the negative cable (1). (2) Disconnect the positive cable (2). (3) Remove the retainer nuts (3) andremove the retainer (4) (4) Remove the battery.
To install the battery: (1) Install the battery in the reverse order of removal. (2) Tighten the retainer nuts and battery cables securely.
NOTE: When the battery is disconnected, some of the vehicle’s function will be initialized and/or deactivated. These function are required to reset after the battery is reconnected.
Fuses
Your vehicle has three types of fuses, asdescribed below:
Main fuse The main fuse takes current directly fromthe battery.
Primary fuses These fuses are between the main fuse and individual fuses, and are for electrical load groups.
Individual fuses These fuses are for individual electrical cir-cuits.

Always be sure to replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the correct amper- age. Never use a substitute such as aluminum foil or wire to replace ablown fuse. If you replace a fuse and the new one blows in a short period of time, you may have a major electri-cal problem. Have your vehicle inspected immediately by your MAR- UTI SUZUKI dealer.

CAUTION
• Light bulbs can be hot enough toburn your finger right after being turned off. This is true especially for halogen headlight bulbs.Replace the bulbs after they become cool enough. • The headlight bulbs are filled withpressurized halogen gas. They can burst and injure you if they are hit or dropped. Handle them carefully.
NOTICE
The oils from your skin may cause ahalogen bulb to overheat and burst when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb with a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Frequent replacement of a bulb indi-cates the need for an inspection of the electrical system. This should be carried out by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.
